Un-branded? Where/who did you buy it from? So, it was just exhaust slobber gooping up the engine? Glad you got it figured out. How's it running? I'm tempted to get a Phantom
These gaskets are new

@DAMIEN1307 did you put a Phantom on your bike? I think I noticed a change in one of the pictures you posted. Was it just the exhaust?

Here is a pic I took of the original motor which failed and before I removed the sticker from it, (I hate stickers on engines)...lol.

Newest Phantom 85 Information
Since my Zeda 80 is down for the count at the moment and is really seized up tight, It's gonna be a while before I really tear everything apart and get it running again. I found the top of the piston to have a full carbon build up on it as well as fine particles of metal lying on top, so I am...

The Phantom looks excellent on your bike Nice chain guard too. Did that come with the kit?

No...That chainguard I bought aftermarket when I still had the Zeda 80 on it after I was going though several chainguards due to metal fatigue.
The kit ones are only thin flimsy things that weigh 5.5 ounces...This grey one you see weighs in at a full pound and heavier gauge.
The one that came with the Phantom kit is likewise a heavier guage metal, but until, if, or when this one fails, then I will slap on the black heavy gauge one that came with the Phantom kit.

You'll get some spooge as you set her in. Just make sure you retighten the head nuts after the first heat cycle, and then the next two or three check. I wet my gaskets with oil and get a little spooge. As long as its not an uneven surface the gasket cant seal right, then a little spoogie is ok. If you soaked the gaskets, that's just the extra oil working out as you tighten the cylinder down from heat cycling.
It really needs to be retorqued after every heat cycle with these Phantoms as they run quite a bit hotter than most CGs we are used to...I had to retorque every heat cycle for the first 50 miles until it started to really seat itself.
